To start, I don't know where to put this. I was going to post it in Forum Suggestions, but since its actually for the game...
My point is:
At this moment, to find the game, you can only roam around Kongregate or get lucky while searching "Online CCG" on google. (correct me if i'm wrong, because since the other site where the game was hosted has an older, non functioning version, most people who visit it will think the game doesn't work anymore).
So, to increase game's popularity, game must have proper advertising. Of course, I assume Zanz doesn't have the money to pay for good advertising, but we can make our part advertising the game in social networks.
Nothing too fancy. A facebook group, a twitter account, I don't know what else there is since I'm don't frequent those sites myself.

So, what do you think? Do you know any other alternative?

Well, we do have a facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ElementsTheGame) group and twitter (http://twitter.com/elementsthegame). There's also a list of some other links in this sticky thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,10587.0.html) in General Discussion (although that's quite old). With that said, if there are other ways to promote this game, we should definitely do it.

Oh so this has already been done.
I guess there's no point for this topic, then. Thanks.

We also have a subreddit. (http://www.reddit.com/r/ElementsTheGame/)

Currently, it's just being used as a mirror to the Forum Announcements and Patch Notes and Development News sections.

I'm not too sure how these things work but I think Google takes into account keywords used in your source-type thing. Right now elementsthegame.com has this:

<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="Elements is a free fantasy online game. Hundreds of creatures, spells, magic and artifacts to play with">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="fantasy, card, cards, elements, magic, spell, creature, entropy, fire, ice, earth, air, gravity, time, darkness, death, life, light, aether, deck, collectible, dragon, zanzarino">

I don't know how much it would help but we could add terms such as "electrum", or "otyugh", or "maxwell's demon". These are uncommon or "niche" terms but it could help guarantee that EtG would be at the top of those searches.
